Ubuntu Server 18.04

Oh, ok. That would explain why I couldn’t access the service outside of an active SSH session. When I closed down the SSH tunnel, it stopped the service. I ran the correct commands and everything is working now. The service is running and I can access the GUI remotely without the SSH session.

For posterity, here are the commands I ran:

  • systemctl --user stop syncthing.service
  • systemctl --user disable syncthing.service
  • systemctl enable syncthing@myusername
  • systemctl start syncthing@myusername

I also rebooted to verify that everything still worked. Thank you for the help!
